Here recently I've started breaking out really bad. I'm 24, I've never had acne issues before... so basically I need some help/ advice! Are there any particular medications, face washes, scrubs, ect, that you would recommend? Thank you!  xoxo.

I would treat with acne specific cleansers, etc. probably trying more natural products first like African Black Soap and coconut oil. I would also look for what's triggering it, maybe something in your diet? Try an elimination diet of common triggers.

African black soap is amazzzinnnnggg. But if its a sudden change has there been anything new in your diet or anything in life stressing you out? Try washing you pillow cases more, it may help.

Did you change any of the products you'be been using?? Cos break outs can also occur as a result of that..
Well,I use Neutrogena oil free facial wash and it has been working so well for me. there's also neutrogena oil free acne wash.
Plus,you could try clean and clear acne wash or even 'seba med' soap and face wash..
plus,you should start drinking lemon water.(water with a squeeze of lemon). it helps.
Hope the acne isn't as a result of stress?!? cos I know I usually break out when I'm under a lot of stress and before my period.
Anyways,when you finally decide on a medication or wash to use,you need to exercise patience cos it may take some time. <333

It depends on your skin type look for products to treat your skin whether dry, combo or oily try to determine that first then I will need to get a good cleanser, toner and moisturizer as well as exfoliant and deep cleansing mask twice a day wash your face and use toner and moisturizer then 2-3 times a week exfoliate and 2-3 times a week when you don't exfoliate use the mask also be aware of things that could be causing the acne whether it be from certain chemical ingredients in cosmetics, food/diet and/or dirt touching your face from your pillow and/or fingers or makeup brushes - try to keep things clean whenever it comes in contact with your face and stick to your routine and you should start seeing results in about a month time

I used prescription retin-a gel, and paula's choice 2% beta hydroxy acid liquid also works wonders.

I love the Dermalogica Clean Start range! It's on the pricey side but well worth it. bit.ly/Ze1HKQ.
